First of all, apologies for anyone trying to reach the site recently. Hoster is having problems that are beyond its immediate control, and has otherwise been a cool place to be running from.
Second, I should have realized that once I finally got in the con, I’d be too busy to post things. :)
Anyway, Friday was interesting. First convention LARP I dealt with since ShoreCon 94 (and there were reasons behind why I’ve waited so long – another story…). Quite good actually. It’s called ‘Grim Tales’ if anyone’s interested in trying this at later Double Exposure conventions.
Saturday was basically one 8-hour event I walked into, but an absloutely amazing and insane one. It was a Babylon 5 minis battle, recreating the big one at Corianis. Pictures of the battle (and possibly me, as I took 3rd place), will probably end up in a magazine called ‘Signs and Portents’ since it was the largest staged battle at 150 mins representing over 1500 ships.
The only downside to doing 8-hour Arena battles is that I had a sore back and two very hurt feet. I spent the next hour down in the hot tub soaking my feet and the next day and a half sleeping off the pain (I went home early Sunday).
My feet still hurt today, but that’s probably since I spent the next two days walking New York on vacation. More on that later as well.
Anyway, onward and sleepward.
